The original 2009 Touhou Bad Apple!! PV, a monochrome shadow-art animation set to music from the Touhou series. It became the source of countless Bad Apple demos on other hardware.

I learned way more about computer graphics here than I expected. Kudos to the author. One nit: the picture that the author called "The sun" is actually Eirin [0] looking at the moon. In that scene [1] she's reaching for the moon, where she was exiled from, only to hesitate and retract the hand. In the next scene, Kaguya [2] also reaches for the moon, but does not hesitate. I'm not sure what the symbolism here was supposed to mean, as according to Touhou wiki it was Eirin's plan to steal the moon. [0] link [1] ▶ this video [2] link
This is what I was hoping to see, seems like the logical next step in showing off this awesome project! For the unawares, the original video: ▶ this video My favorite version, also using real-life objects: link (HN discussion: link )
The video's been around since 2009. Video: ▶ this video Wikipedia article: link !! I recommend watching this video, "Bad Apple explained:History and Analysis": link It's fascinating. I think this video is a fabulous example of community creation.
